Enabling network storage logging
Network storage enclosures that are licensed and connected to servers currently being monitored are
automatically monitored. These enclosures appear on the Monitoring Administration page with a checkbox next
to them.
The network storage device list displayed on the Monitoring Administration page can be filtered to display all
devices, all logging devices, or all devices available for logging. Select the appropriate filter from the View
dropdown box. Use the page links, which appear when there are multiple pages, for navigation between pages.
To enable logging for a network storage enclosure:
1. From the HP SIM console toolbar, select Options>Performance Management Pack Options>Configuration.
The Monitoring Administration page appears in a new window.
2. Click the Network Storage tab. Network storage enclosures licensed and currently being monitored appear
in the list.
3. Select the checkbox next to the storage enclosures for which to enable logging, or use the checkbox at the
top of the column to select or deselect all of the items listed on the page.
4. Select the Log checkbox, Log Days and select the number of samples to use to determine status from the
dropdown menu.
5. Click Apply to begin logging.
6. To disable logging, repeat steps 1 through 5, deselecting the Log checkbox.
Data is only logged to the PMP database for storage enclosures after logging is selected and parameters are
applied. Network storage logging is independent of the connected servers. For example, data can be logged for
a storage enclosure while not being logged for the connected servers.
Monitoring parameters
Servers are monitored based on monitoring parameters. The monitoring status and the number of samples are set
in PMP for servers to be monitored.
